cisco-sa-20111026-camera

A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability exists in the Cisco Video Surveillance IP Cameras 2421, 2500 series and 2600 series of devices. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending crafted RTSP TCP packets to an affected device. Successful exploitation prevents cameras from sending video streams, subsequently causing a reboot. The camera reboot is done automatically and does not require action from an operator. There are no workarounds available to mitigate exploitation of this vulnerability that can be applied on the Cisco Video Surveillance IP Cameras. Mitigations that can be deployed on Cisco devices within the network are available.
